Arthur and Sherlock: Conan Doyle and the Creation of Holmes by Michael Sims

2.0

Meh. I was hoping for a lot more from this book, but found it difficult to get into and finish. It's awkwardly written and very, very dry. Some of the language and composition was choppy and clumsy. The book jumped around a bit with sections of back-and-forth between topics. The book also spent a lot of time delving into biographies of (seemingly) everyone in Conan Doyle's life to the point where you couldn't figure out how this related to the creation of Sherlock. About 50 pages into it, I just said, "Who cares?"
